A POSSIBLE OBJECTION
THAT MAY DENY THE SUPREME
COURT ROBE TO LAMAR.

The Idea of an Ex-Rebel ON the Supreme
Bench Distasteful to Republican Sena-
tors. and Why Sparks Resignation
Rather Promptly Accepted, to Take
Place at Once-Capital Items.
WASHINGTON CITY, Nov 17.-Secretary
Lamar is reported to have said in New York
that if the president nominated him to the
United States supreme court he would &C
cept the position as the proudest honor OF my
life" This is the first public utteranee at
tributed to Lamar relative to this subject. 1t
is to be inferred that he would not have said
so much if he had not expected to be nomin-
ated. No one here in position to be informed
upon the subject doubts that the president
will nominate Lamar to the supreme bench
soon after the meeting of the sem
ate and that upon the confrma-
ton of Lamar will depend the
changes of the cabinet which are the subject of
public rumor All these changes will turn
upon the question: viii the senate confirm
Lamar as an associate justice of the supreme
courtl The friends of Lamar think that it is
quite unnecessary to ask that question, and
that there eau be no possible doubt that he
will be confirmed. They are doubtless right
in their assumption that the final vote Of the
senate will be for confirmation; but it is not
SO clear that there will be no opposition.
A gentleman from Senator Eimunds own
state whose responsibility and the source of
whose information can not be questioned,
states that Edmunds within month has said
Lamar ought not to be confirmed as justice
of the United States supreme court The
| reasons assigned were because of theories as
| to various questions of a constitutional char
acter relating to issues of the war Of the re-
bellion which are attributed to Lamar.
Talk with one or two other senators indi.
| Gates that similar views are entertained by
others than Edmunds The objection which
is privately made by these senators is that
the results and all of the accomplished facts
of the war of the rebellion Lamar accepts
with perfect loyalty; but that as an abstract
question he still entertains the opinion which
he did in 1861, that the southern states and
all of the states had the right to secede,
and that he accepts the results 81
the war as the final decree of force aud
not as a consequence of a proper inter
probation of the constitution, or of the right;
of the states in relation to the federal gov
eminent Some Republican senators have
said, not in relation to Lamar, but as gen
eral principal Of party administration, tina
they would never consent to the confrma
ton of a man to a Judicial position who hold
such theories of the constitution, and ths
they would never vote to confirm a man fo
justice of the supreme court who, being il
congresstAt the outbreak of the war, left hi
seat to join the Confederaey.
